"It won't be the best though," Lily says."She won't caramelize the onions and do the mushroom gravy, because that takes longer."

"There's some gravy left over from..."

"Nuh-uh. I had it with second breakfast." Lily said. "Sorry Justin. If I'd known you were coming, I'd have saved it for you."

"Don't worry, Leelee. I'll do up some onions special for Justin sometime."
"You do really good caramelized onions," Lily says to Tito.

"Do you swim, Justin? The weather's been perfect."

"Wait, Pans- Gravy? On a sand- Caramel? Like the candy? On onions? No, I've never swam before, but can we rewind a little bit? Second Breakfast? As in more than one?" Okay, the art of sandwich-making, and scheduled eating, is clearly beyond Justin. Another reason he eats either barely edible stuff or junk food.

"I don't go food shopping that often, but I'd be happy to help you look," Justin says as he processes this new food information. "Okay, so: Are you talking about pudding like the snack in the plastic cup," he says imitating the removal of the wrapper, "aren't Dinner and Supper the same thing, and are you just making up elevenses to mess with me?"

If you go back to the infirmary, you'll want to talk to Quinn. I suggest the MedLab, actually. Tobias is more stable. Vidalia nods her head.

Lucy listens carefully to Vidalia's explanation, chiming in when the vine-person finishes.

"I am in need of employment myself, actually. I would believe an infirmary a good choice for seeking it, but I am unsure of what a Medlab is. I presume it has to do with Medicinal sciences, but I could be mistaken"

The children look mystified. Brand disgusted. "Pudding simply means 'dessert'. But what you call 'pudding', I would call penance. It's vile. Truly vile. But there really are 7 meals in a day. I'm not sure anyone but us eats at them all."

"Not even the Wolfen do," Lily says. "They go and kill a deer and eat a whole bunch without even cooking it, then have a long nap, and don't eat again the rest of the day, except maybe a snack. That's the worst part about when I become a Wolfen. I don't want to eat raw meat."
"You're not going to become a Wolfen!" Tito snaps at his sister. They'd been getting on so well up until now too. "You're a halfling. You have to stay a halfling."
"Renetta didn't stay an elf!" Lily retorts.

Pansy to the rescue! The sandwich, she returns with, though lacking in onion gravy, has three kinds of cold meat, two kinds of cheese, lettuce, mayo, pickles, tomatoes, yellow peppers, red onions, and black olives. And of course it's served on a homemade bun that was baked only yesterday and is absolutely massive. "I'm sorry the bread is a day old. We haven't finished the baking today," she says. She also sets a bowl of cherries down on the table, and the kids come along and start eating it. "Slow down, you two. Save some for Justin."

"And me!" Brand says. He's finished the kneading, and puts the bread back in the bowl, covers it, and sets it on a shelf near the fireplace for rising. "I just have to wash my hands." As he walks past, Pansy holds up a cherry for him to catch in his mouth.

Justin takes his experimental bite into his sandwich. "I tekk it beck," he says, mouth half full. He swallows and finishes what he was about to say, "I can't make a sandwich. If this is what a sandwich is, I couldn't possibly make one. And please don't apologize, Pansy. It's not like I was expected."

His mind wanders on the transformation as he eats. "Why wouldn't you want to stay a halfling Lily? You're pretty great from what I've seen."

Jefferies will suggest they go down on Butler's belly then, of course!

Eventually, exhausted, the swimming party reaches shore. If anyone else would like to meet Jefferies or Missy, interaction is open.

"That's not the best sandwich. The best one is with the onion gravy, and with the bacon drippings brushed on the bread instead of mayonnaise," Tito says.

"I want to be a Wolfen so I can marry Pathfinder when I grow up! Or maybe another Wolfen, if Pathfinder marries Reelshka first, but I wanted to marry Pathfinder before she did." There is a pout here. Epic grade pout!

Oh, and Val certainly didn't bury the bones in ziplock baggies in the walls of the cabin or anything, so don't go poking around in there! Search the forest or the sky or the lake! Zero would find zippo in the walls!

>.< Yessir. There are no bodies in the walls!

Moving on, there is a suit of powered armor in the bathroom. The door is shut and locked at this time, but it is there all the same.

"Bottled joy! You take a sip of it and it makes you joyous! I don't know how they manufacture it, but it works wonders!"

It might also be an anti-depressant! Erm...
It is an anti-depressant. And it is impossible to get your hands on without underworld connections.

Justin and his player have gained a knew appreciation for sandwiches today. He answers Lily between bites of the second best sandwich. There's a clever puppy love pun he could make, but his player isn't smart enough to think of one. "But when you grow up, Pathfinder will be even more grown up. Do you have to marry a Wolfen?"

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 83

A very strange looking man in a pair of jeans and a ragged blue shirt. He has light blue eyes, and a shy smile. He seems lost, like a tourist in a strange new place.

Spoiler: Haldavar the Red, by Orestes the Bard.

"Hear now of Haldavar, whose unholy spell
Eclipsed the moon, and shook the Hells!
Yes, hear of Haldavar with beard of snow,
With tottering footsteps, with wrinkled brow.
Oh fell Haldavar, whose wicked art
Could cloak the foulness of his lustful heart."

"So, how do you like it here?" Sophie asks Jefferies once everyone is back on the shore. Nicholas walks around the party warily.
They're all wet. So they can get water on him. This isn't good. =x

"Dis so fun! I want to come here ebry day!" Jefferies says.

"I want to marry a Wolfen!" Lily says. "So I have to!" This makes perfect sense.

"Yeah, but-" Wait! Justin, you are about to enter an argument with a seven year old about love. Does this seem wise? Justin wisely takes a bite into his sandwich rather than continue that sentence. "So, bacon drippings? Like the grease from the pan?"

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 83

Main Cabin

"Didn't know about the drippings, but I knew about the bones," Justin says, slowly nearing the end of the second best sandwich. "Not the marrow thing, but that you can make soup from the bones." Pretty easy way to get something flavorful back in the wastes. Though desperation occasionally lead to five times reboiled bones. "Did your parents teach you all this, or did you just pick it up?" To Justin, these kids are incredibly knowledgeable about cooking.

"As soon as they could sit up, I had them on the kitchen table while we worked," Pansy says. "Some of it was deliberately taught, but most of it they just picked up on their own."
"Tito is a better cook than me," Lily says.

"That's cause you don't pay attention."

"Mhm," Lily agrees. "I forget and stuff gets burnt. Oooh! We should teach Justin to cook! Then he can cook stuff for the girl he likes and get a girlfriend!"

Justin did not expect Lily to say anything like that, especially following the reasonable "teach [him] to cook" idea. "Haha! What, you assume I don't have a girlfriend?" he asks, leaning forward with an obviously not angry expression. "I don't, but whatever. That's actually a great idea Lily. Sounds fun. The cooking, I mean."

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 83

"Because if you had a girlfriend, you would have let me meet her!" Lily says. Logic! "Do you like human girls like you? Oooh, if she's human, she won't know how to cook either! We can teach both of you together!"

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 83

He also would have brought her to the wedding. "I like human girls, but there were only humans where I'm from." not technically true, but he's not getting into that in now. "And wouldn't the lessons be to impress her? How can I impress her if she's as good as me?"

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 83

"You always come early and get sneaky-peaky lessons!" Lily says. "Then she'll fall in love with you so much, and we'll make another wedding feast just like Waterstrider's, only better because Tito made something last week with almonds and pears that was really yummy and he didn't know how to make it then. And if we can get lemons for lemon meringue pie, it will be even better!"

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 83

"You clearly have this all thought out," Justin concedes. Lily is clearly some sort of romantic genius. "It's all sort of moot, though, 'cause, I don't have any girls I like right now." A kink in an otherwise flawless plan.
